Meals and Drinks

As both a parent and a grandparent, I understand that you need to know your child has eaten well throughout the day. When my children were at school they were very well looked after but I felt that the meals they received weren’t always conducive to their cognitive and physical development.

Parents can be assured that every day, their children will be having meals prepared by highly skilled, professional Chefs. The three-week cyclic menu is arranged to provide variety both to children who attend nursery every day and to those who only visit on specific days each week. 

Details of our weekly menu can be found on our parent communications app ‘Famly’

We are delighted to use Nursery Kitchen who supply our lunches and hot teas. They provide menus full of healthy and freshly prepared meals containing all the nutrients your little ones require. Nursery Kitchen ensure all meals are well balanced and cater for all different dietary requirements whilst maintaining sustainability.

Milk and water are served at snack times and fresh water is available at all times during the day. Kindly note: Parents/carers are responsible for providing the relevant formula milk feeds for babies.

Named water bottle to be provided daily by parents.

Breakfast is served between 8.00am - 9.00am. Consequently, if you wish for your child to have breakfast you must have them in by 8.30/8.45 at the latest. This allows time for your child to finish eating and for us to clear away in time to start the daily activities at 9.00 (as outlined in our daily routine notified to OFSTED).

Numbers for lunch are taken at 10.30am. If your child is not in but you wish to bring them in for lunch time, then you must let us know by 10.25am at the latest.

We try to encourage a balanced and healthy diet in the nursery. This is very difficult if parents/carers allow their children to walk in with sweets, lollipops, fizzy drinks and crisps, especially if there isn’t enough to share with the other children! We would therefore, request that you save such treats for when your child is at home/outside of nursery.
